Here's the basic Apache-specific SVN info:
http://apache.org/dev/version-control.html#https-svn
Depending on your client (don't know about NetBeans's SVN
capabilities) you'd simply point it to
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/db/ddlutils/ or
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/db/ddlutils/trunk (that's the Head)
and check it out. Checking-out should work for everbody, only
check-ins require authentication.

That's certainly possible, though I'd like to write the unit tests
first - DdlUtils is really lacking in this area, and I'd really prefer
to have the safety-net priot to any major changes.

Mhmm, I have to check how to do that with commons-betwixt, though I
guess that should be possible. I wanted to update to commons-betwixt
0.61-dev anyway so I might as well check on this.

No need to, actually the former commons-sql lay around for quite some
time until I realized that it would be quite useful for OJB and joined
it as a comitter. Now in db.apache.org it finally gets some attention
...
Perhaps you'd even like to join as a comitter ? I mean, any help is
always welcome ;-)
